< Philippians 2 >

1 If [there is] any therefore encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if (any *N+kO) affections and compassions, 2 do fulfill my joy so that the same you may be minded, the same love having, united in soul, the same thing minding, 3 nothing according to self-interest (nor *N+kO) (according to *no) vain conceit but in humility one another be esteeming surpassing themselves; 4 not the [things] their own (each one *NK+o) (considering *N+kO) but also the [things] of others (everyone. *N+kO) 5 This (for *k) (do be thinking *N+kO) in you which also in Christ Jesus [was]: 6 Who in [the] form of God existing not something to be grasped considered to be equal with God, 7 but Himself emptied [the] form of a servant having taken, in [the] likeness of men having been made, 8 And in appearance having been found as a man He humbled Himself having become obedient unto death, [the] death even of [the] cross; 9 Therefore also God Him highly exalted and granted to Him (the *no) name above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee may bow in the heavens and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue may confess that [is] Lord Jesus Christ to [the] glory of God [the] Father. 12 Therefore, beloved of mine, even as always you have obeyed, not as in the presence of me only but now much more in the absence of me, with fear and trembling your own salvation do work out; 13 God for is the [One] working in you both to will and to work according to [His] good pleasure. 14 All things do perform without murmurings and disputings, 15 so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God (blameless *N+kO) (in *k) ([the] midst *N+kO) of a generation crooked and perverted among whom you shine as lights in [the] world, 16 [the] word of life holding forth, unto a boast to me myself in [the] day of Christ that not in vain I did run nor in vain toil. 17 but if even I am being poured out on the sacrifice and on [the] service of the faith of you, I am glad and I rejoice with all you; 18 And likewise also you yourselves do be glad and do rejoice with me. 19 I hope however in [the] Lord Jesus Timothy soon to send to you, that I myself also I myself also may be encouraged having known the [things] concerning you; 20 No [one] for I have like-minded, who genuinely the [things] relative to you will care for; 21 Those all for the [things] their own are seeking, not the [things] Jesus of Christ; 22 But the proven worth of him you know, that as a father [with] a child with me myself he has served in the gospel. 23 Him indeed therefore I hope to send when maybe (I may have seen *N+kO) the [things] concerning me myself immediately; 24 I have been persuaded however in [the] Lord that also I myself soon I will come. 25 Necessary now I esteemed [it] Epaphroditus the brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier of mine, of you now messenger and minister of the need of mine, to send to you; 26 since longing after he was all you (to see *O) and being deeply distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27 And indeed he was sick nearly (unto death; *NK+o) but God had mercy on him not on him now alone but also on me myself, that not sorrow upon sorrow I may have. 28 All the more speedily therefore I have sent him, that having seen him again you may rejoice, and I myself and I myself less anxious may be. 29 do receive therefore him in [the] Lord with all joy and such in honor do hold; 30 because for the sake of the work (of Christ *NK+O) unto death he came near having disregarded [his] life so that he may fill up the of you deficit of toward me service.
